Resolution 81

Ministries and Manpower - The Needs of the Ministry

The Conference, while feeling deep concern about the numerical inadequacy of the ministry available to consolidate the Church's present work, and to serve its expanding mission, nevertheless recognises that that is no short cut to the solution of problems of manpower, and that nothing less than a wide response in terms of vocational dedication to the ministry will meet present needs and provide for expansion.

It therefore urges upon every diocese and upon every priest the need for presenting the vocation to the ministry in terms which will challenge the laymen of the Church to consider a call to this life of sacrifice and devotion.
